I am setting the .visible value to false.

Here's an update.
If I set the top value to -4000 I do not have to use the move() function that causing the problem. The side effect of this setting is causing the screen to blink when the Spell Checking is done.

so, I will call it done if I can get rid of that blink

Thanks
